Due to circumferences beyond my control. I played two shows today: one in my FORMER time slot of 11-2, and another in my NEW time slot of 5-7 p.m. in an epic day of radio at Radio Regent. The earlier show featured Gregg Lawless. Much featured of late on my show, he was my live guest at noon, showing off a few tunes as preamble to his Tenth Anniversary Concert Party at Hugh's Room this Saturday.

External territories, sector Regentis. The distance from the center of the galaxy : 43 thousand light years. Desert planet Toronto, orbiting a binary star, a haven for smugglers real estate agents and gangsters of all stripes. For centuries, was the site of Radionto Refuse Globale, a standoff between different gangs of marauding boards of directors, so that the surface of the planet is literally littered with the debris of ancient bogus protocols, buried under the sands of the desert. Toronto officially colonized a few centuries ago, by boomers, opportunists, altruists, artists and other dilated colonists. On the planet there are spore-children of different races and ages, aliens and aubergine Aborigines: fussy media and tedia annoying the people of Love, and aggressive drone nomads from International Space Station. Government - complete anarchy; a sort of power exists held only by a king of the underworld, from a race called the Hutt, viz. Robba the Hutt. Regent authority sceptre is held hostage by a clan of dj's, musicians, artists and teacher/magicians against ongoing claims by a consortium of national paralyticians. Mostly harmless.

It's my first show back in the turret as Official Orbiteer for Radio Regent, featuring a live performance and ticket giveaway, noonish, with the lustrous Chloe Charles. She showcased songs from Little Green Bud, and a world premiere of "Soldier" from her new record of alluring vocals and versatile songwriting skills. Have a peek every week, then step aboard at http://www.radioregent.com/.

CKLN Radio Inc is dissolving but your favourite shows and hosts are moving to Radio Regent

Tuesday, 20 December 2011 22:00

On December 14, 2011, the courts granted CKLN Radio Incorporated's request to dissolve the corporation and also dismissed a motion by Mary Young for a derivative action, ordering Ms. Young to pay CKLN $10,000 in costs. This request for dissolution was made following a vote at our October 11, 2011 Special General Meeting in which the membership overwhelmingly approved a motion to seek dissolution. On December 26, 2011, our contract with Regent Park Focus ends and CKLN.fm will cease broadcasting on the internet. However, Regent Park Focus Youth Media Arts Centre has announced that they will be launching a new internet radio service, Radio Regent, on January 1, 2012.

While Radio Regent is unaffiliated with CKLN Radio Incorporated and will be managed by Regent Park Focus, volunteers currently at CKLN have been invited to join the new service so many of your favourite shows and personalities will be on the Radio Regent program schedule. The Radio Regent livestream is currently being mirrored on the CKLN.fm website, however, the livestream is not affiliated with CKLN Radio Incorporated and CKLN Radio Incorporated is not responsible for it or the programming it carries.

We'd like to thank everyone who has been a part of or supported CKLN over the past three decades and we deeply regret that the CKLN story is coming to the end. Over the years CKLN 88.1 has provided an outlet to up and coming, cutting edge voices that could not be heard elsewhere and provided Toronto with its first and often only exposure to a variety of musical and artistic forms. While the past few years have been difficult we believe that on balance, CKLN has been a positive force in Toronto and in radio.
